What is required for strikers to complete RPQ's in TMT?

• A. At least 1 pay grade senior in same rating
• B. Must have a certified reviewer
• C. Completed within 3 months
• D. Must be approved by the Commandant

Answer: (A)

The main idea is about who is authorized to supervise and sign off on a striker’s Required Practical Qualifications in the Training Management Tool. To ensure proper oversight, a senior person—someone with a higher pay grade and, importantly, in the same rating as the striker—must be involved. That supervisor has the firsthand knowledge of the rating’s duties and the authority to assess competency, so their sign-off carries real credibility and keeps standards consistent across the command.

That’s why having at least one pay-grade senior in the same rating is the necessary requirement. Other options either introduce roles or timeframes that aren’t the specified supervisory standard, or demand approvals from higher authorities that aren’t routinely involved in day-to-day RPQ sign-offs.
